✦ Cost control = engineering discipline. Fix noisy workloads Filter low-value findings Scope GuardDuty to the accounts that matter

✦ Add-ons matter. S3 Protection + EKS Runtime Monitoring Useful — but only for high-value workloads. Enable selectively.

✦ DNS is the hidden source of noise. Microservices + service discovery = constant queries Chatty workloads = inflated GuardDuty spend

✦ CloudTrail is the silent cost multiplier. CI/CD bursts Automation loops Misconfigured scripts Federated access patterns All create massive API spikes.

✦ It’s not findings — it’s ingestion. GuardDuty bills based on: ⟐ VPC Flow Logs analyzed ⟐ CloudTrail event volume ⟐ DNS query traffic High-volume environments = high bills.

💡 GuardDuty pricing explained (thread) Most teams overspend because they misunderstand where the costs actually come from. Let’s break down the real drivers. 🧵👇

🔥 GuardDuty pricing isn’t as simple as it looks. Most teams think findings drive the bill… but it’s actually log ingestion doing the heavy lifting. ➤ VPC Flow Logs ➤ CloudTrail bursts ➤ DNS chatter ➤ Add-on modules I just published a breakdown on the real cost drivers. 📌

◆ Integrate with Security Hub + Detective for correlation + investigation at scale.

◆ Automate response with EventBridge + Lambda to cut reaction time dramatically.

◆ Turn on Malware Protection — EBS volumes and containers are high-risk surfaces.

◆ Enable every data source: CloudTrail, VPC Flow Logs, DNS, EKS Audit/Runtime, and S3 protection.

◆ Multi-account setup is essential — GuardDuty must be centralized and enforced across all org accounts.
